Thanks in advance.

I'm not going to give any suggestions on how to disable mirrors because
then I'd be encouraging you to go down the wrong path.

However, if you want to unmirror the disk temporarily, you could just
metadetach the mirror, but I suspect your script might fail even if it's a
one way mirror.

Turning off all the metadevices via /etc/vfstab and /etc/system sounds a bit
drastic just to check disks and do a backup, mind you.
